What is the deal?
IIRC the Radeon 4890 had more than one TFlop in a real test, so it would be interesting in which case this "super computer" reaches these figures, so how they would compare.
AFAIK Radeon cards reach more GFlops than Nvidia cards --> there was a very interesting thread on this issue on beyond3d.com.
